Alisha sent in her recent trip to CVS and she did great! Here is what she got and how she did it:
Alisha: I did 4 transactions and already had $5 in ECBs from last week. All together I paid $28.75 including tax and saved a little over $60.
1) Zyrtec used $2 Coupon
Pediacare used $5 ECBs
Paid: $4.98 got $5 and $5.99 in ECBs
2) I did the CVS Cash Card Deal:
Cottonelle
Duracell Batteries 12 pk used $1 Coupon from PG Booklet
4 Lays Chips @ 2/$6 used $5.99 and $5 ECBs from transaction 1 and $4 off $20 that I received in my email from CVS
Paid: $16.80 and got $10 gift card
3) Coke 5/$15 used one $1/2 Diet Coke Products and $10 gift card
Paid: $5.16 and got $5 in ECBs
4) Since I still needed some Easter candy for the kids at my son’s daycare I decided to use the ECBs and bought 7 M&Ms eggs @ 88 cents and 2 snickers eggs.
Used $1/2 any Mars Easter product and 25 cents off 2 snickers eggs that I got from the “magic red box” and the $5 ECBs
Paid: $1.81

The ad doesn’t look so great at first, but after putting into scenarios there seems to be really good savings this week. So the scenarios will be a few extra transaction that way you can get all the best deals. Remember all the transactions DON’T have to be done on the same day if you’re not comfortable doing that many at first.
If you are new to cvs shopping you can pick up from here and do the beginner scenario with no starting ECB’s. You can read my CVS 101 if you have questions and view the CVS weekly deals HERE.
In the scenarios I’ll be using the $2/1 Tampax Radiant coupon that came inside the product package from last weeks tampax deal. If you don’t have it use the $1/1 Tampax Pearl, Pearl Compak, Radiant, exp. 4/30/12 (P&G 04/01/12)
